Cutcharts
myCNC software supports cutcharts. Cutting parameters like Cutting speed, Process current, Arc voltage reference, Ignition Height, Pierce height, Pierce time, Cutting height, Kerf compensation and others can be loaded from Cutcharts depends on Plasma power source, materail type, material thickness.
Cutchart database stored in myCNC software as SQLite database file. Database can be filled manually or imported automatically from XML or CSV file format.
Comma Separated Values (CSV) is widely used text format. XLS/ODT files can be easily saved as CSV from Libre Office Calc or Microsoft Excel.
For example, select Save as in Libre Office menu, select Text CVS and choose in CSV options -
- “;” as field delimeter
- “” (empty) as text delimeter
Parameters List that can be stored in Cutchart is shown in a table below
